- Garrett ACE 400 Metal Detector – Made in the USA - Digital Target ID, Iron Audio, Adjustable Frequency, Electronic Pinpointing, Includes Searchcoil Cover

I absolutely love this detector and would give it 10 stars if possible. I've been a dirt fisher for about 5 years now so I thought I would upgrade from my Bounty Hunter Time Ranger(a decent detector in it's own right) to a Garrett. I was saving up for an AT Pro but then this gem became available and boy howdy am I glad. I was literally waiting on my front porch for the UPS dude to deliver it, I'm in my mid 40's and I felt like I was 10 years old again waiting for Christmas morning. I had been watching the 3 very informative and in depth manufacturer videos on Youtube over and over so when I received the 400 I had it assembled and was at an old local park that has been there since the 20's swinging away 30 mins after opening the box. I had been to this particular park several times before but not with the Ace 400 and I was blown away with it's capabilities. I was hitting coins at 8-9 inches through trash and junk that myself and many others had missed and I'm not talking crappy ass modern clad either. I recovered everything from Indian Heads to Walking Liberties and had no idea that these older coins were even there this whole time. I'm now systematically going to all the places I had previously visited and my results thus far have been more than pleasing. The 400 is very easy to learn how to use and beyond accurate, the headphones that come with it are very nice, small and comfortable, not big and bulky like the rapper headphones in a studio pair, plus the volume control is a nice touch. My one and only complaint is that the "included" coil cover was not included in my order, but I procured one for $15 because a coil cover is a must in my opinion. So, in conclusion, the Ace 400 is a superb mid-level machine, accurate, easy to use and if an object is there it will find it up to roughly 10" depending on size and conditions. Oh, watch the Youtube manufacturer videos before you use it, they are a great learning resource. 5-9-16- Update, I bought a second Ace 400 as a gift from a different seller on Amazon. I was a bit ticked off because this order did not have the "included" coil cover in it either!!!! Neither box had obvious tampering and I am unsure why I was the lucky one and didn't receive a coil cover in either order. If it were not for the quality and performance of the Ace 400, I would never buy anything from Garrett again, If you advertise something, ya best deliver or it just makes you look like a big fat LIAR!! 6-7-16-Update, I contacted Garrett and they sent me the missing coil covers, the missing cover issue has been settled. I still love the Ace 400 & would still give it 5 stars as it has already paid for itself two fold and I'm well on my way to an AT Pro.

Well made, easy to assemble, sensor is good, communicates precisely, water proof, great customer support. We have only come upon ordinary metals, but it finds them accurately. Awesome upgrade.

great for beginners good sound tone it is a little loud when you hit a high number 71-99 but it comes with head phones with volume control the coil cover is good quality but it can be a pain to put on its very tight but that's not a bad thing you don't want sand and mud getting between the coil and the cover it will damage the coil over time great depth and fast recover speed there's not much difference between the at pro and the 400 as far as the depth and recover speed goes both have the same stock coil its a little on the heavy side so it might be a little difficult for a small child to use its very well built the only down side i see after hundreds of hours of use is the target separation between two targets is iffy if you have a lot of trash in the area I have found a lot of good stuff with this detector

Love it

This is a great metal detector, easy to use and balanced.

This is a perfect metal detector for a new person getting into this fun hobby

Everything they said it was that's great thank you no problems

I was disappointed with my Ace 400. It couldn't detect coins through air at the distances that many reviews say theirs worked. Maybe it was a bad unit; if so, be aware that bad units exist. Aside from the iron audio, I didn't find any of the "smart" features to work very well. I think it is overprocessing the signal, and that I'd be better off with a more analog model. In its quest to turn everything into a "beep/no beep" decision, it wipes out a lot of the information available from the other circuitry. Most of all, my unit was extremely unrepeatable. Drop a quarter in the grass and go over it at the same distance and speed over and over and it's completely unpredictable if it will beep or not. After fiddling a lot with modes, notching, sensitivity, I couldn't get it to reliably differentiate targets from trash, or even targets from air. It seems to find the smallest rusty nail while missing the large aluminum bar next to it. I'd recommend going with something cheaper and analog based, or more expensive with competent signal processing.

Very impressed. Right out of the box after a quick and essembly, I found items in the ground. Accurate. Not low end at all.

Tout était comme je m'y attendais. Je suis satisfait de mon achat.

جهاز رائع والتوصيل أجمل، يعطيكم العافية

Nothing but great things to say about the metal detector, but Amazon kept me waiting for 13 days before they could even offer me a delivery ETA. What on earth is up with that? Would Amazon care to clarify?
